Magnum Research BFR45/70 BFR Revolver 5RD

*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily
represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described
by the title and description on this page before you place your order.

MRI’s Big Frame Revolver is truly the biggest, finest revolver on the
market today. Entirely manufactured in the US and like the legendary
Desert Eagle pistol it is designed as a magnum from the ground up. The
BFR is all stainless and has a cut rifled barrel that delivers unmatched
accuracy with lead or jacketed bullets. The BFR is the most powerful
production single action gun made and with 12 calibers and two frame
sizes to choose from you can take everything from grouse to grizzly.
Choose your chambering and frame size and have your favorite gun dealer
locate one of the BFRs for you.

Very impressive revolver! I ordered a 450 Marlin cylinder to go with this and I also reload the 45-70 ammo to the higher pressures for lever action specifications. This handgun came with a scope base and adding a scope helps control the recoil - still a handful. Definitely a capable hunting weapon.

Bud's was very simple to work with. Choose your item, select your payment, select your favorite FFL dealer and they ship it straight to them. Yes, it's that simple! I chose the 90 day layaway plan and they received my final payment on Friday, I had my item on Tuesday. Thank you Bud's and thank you Magnum Research for building such quality weapons in your BFR line. I ordered the BFR 45-70 10 inch barrel. It is amazing. I'm hoping to bag a T-rex and a velicoraptor in my first dino hunt!😁😉

Picked up the BFR in 45-70 , I have been feeding it 300 - 405 grain ammo. Very pleased with the quality of this pistol which helps keep recoil manageable.
This was my first purchase through Buds and will be return customer.

This is the second 45-70 BFR I have purchased from Bud's. Had a shooting buddy that liked mine so much I had to buy a replacement. Still a great revolver but just know, the disclaimer that Bud'a has about the photos being stock, kicks into effect here. They need to update the stock photos. The grips, hammer and rear sight have all changed and those changes are not reflected in the pic. The grips have changed to such a degree that I may have reconsidered letting my old one go. They are a different taper, different grip surface and different size than the original. The little bit of grip that drops down behind the trigger guard, keeping metal to skin contact from happening, is GONE!.

The Magnum Research BFR 45/70 shoots like a dream. I have shot a variety of different grain bullets through it and find it likes 300-325 grain bullets the best. It seems more accurate with higher speed bullet and kicks less than my Taurus 454 cassul. A blast to shoot, but accurate enough for hunt deer.

Just picked this up today and have yet to fire it but, this is one beefy hog leg! Very solid piece of metal. Don't think you could beat the quality of craftsmanship on this piece. After all, it is from a company called Magnum Research. Very impressive! The oversized rubber grip is a nice touch as I could have seen this come out with hard plastic grips which would be a nightmare. Grip is big enough to get all of your hand on it, so I anticipate better control, than initially expecting. A big bunch of shootin iron here!

Beautiful handgun, functions perfectly, feels good, and great accuracy/repeat-ability. After order, item was received in only 2-3 days at my ffl, so an overall amazing transaction.

wow went out to range in Hawaii to break it in,,, was firing at target 45 feet away and deadly accurate , blew out the center of the target, had gun club member filming this when stopping to reload after 35 rounds, a 7 inch diameter tree 25 feet high went over behind the target in the woods,,,, so my first kill with this was caught on tape,,,,, gotta love the 45-70,,,, got comfortable with this and now can shoot one handed, the fit and finish are just mind blowing,,, if you like power than this is for you,,,,, buds excellent service is simply the icing on the cake,,, gotta love them as well mahalo from hawaii

What an awesome gun! Very beautiful and built like a tank. Very accurate. Recoil isn't bad. I have the Magnum Research BFR in .454 Casull that is Magnum Ported, and this 45/70 is much tamer. I love this BFR. I can't wait until this November - going to lay me a big Ohio buck on the ground.
Buy this gun and you will be glad you did!
